Help Me Run For Breast Cancer
(I’ve emailed this to close friends and colleagues. I’m hoping that, with social media, a few more my “digital friends” will help too.)
Its extremely rare that I would ask for help in my fundraising efforts so I’m hoping that you’ll read this email.
In my quest to get fit and lose some weight, I’ve been looking to run a 5K race. After a little inspiration from my colleague James Elwood, I’m going to be running the Komen 5K Run for Breast Cancer this coming Saturday, June 4th in Hartford. As some of you may know, cancer in my side of the family is an unfortunate common occurrence. The cancer fundraising organizations hold a special place in my heart as does Feeding America. Because the race is on Saturday (only 5 days away), I’m hoping I can reach my modest fund-raising goal.
I’ve decided to raise $250 dollars but would love to raise more. I’m hoping that, if its right for you, you can help me by donating towards my goal. Susan G Komen has a webpage specifically for me. Go to http://transaction.komenct.org/goto/kyledaigle and click on “Make a gift” on the right hand side. Any size donation will help me reach the goal by this Saturday.
I want to thank you in advance. Please feel free to share this with friends and family if you think it’ll be right for them. You can look at this blog for an update about my efforts after the race. I really appreciate it from the bottom of my heart.
